Terracotta Warriors
The 8th Wonder of the World Coming to Life


Produced in 2004, Terracotta Warriors took North America by storm during its 72-performance inaugural world tour. The 2-hour long journey through the life of one of the most well-known historical figures in all of China represents the most astounding presentation of Chinese performing arts in the west over the course of human history.

Since its premiere in Vancouver three years ago, Terracotta Warriors has been performed on stage over 120 times and enjoyed by over 128,000 audiences across North America.

The incredible story of Terracotta Warriors combines extravagant dance and songs with spectacular martial arts in an unprecedented fashion in thie Action-Musical. Adapted from historical accounts of the life of Qin ShiHuang, the first Emperor of China [crowned in 221 B.C.], the story portrays the fantastic events of the Qin Dynasty, shown through the eyes of his beloved concubine and scheming eunuch. As the most indredible Chinese historical facts are revealed on stage against a background of epic sets and lavish costumes, the audience will marvel at the dance, music, and action used to tell a story of power and lush, betrayal and forbidden love. With a cast of over 80 outstanding dancers, martial artists, and acrobats from China, this spectacle will dazzle the audience with the kind of lavishness and scope that goes beyond traditional theatre.

Battles and conquest, forbidden love, burning of books, live burial of scholars and even the building of the Great Wall end with a final climax of the Dance of the Terracotta Warriors. The audience will marvel at the dance, music and action used to tell a story of power and lust, of betrayal and forbidden passion. It's a theatrical event to be remembered!
